AiP is picking up the pace! As our hands-on experiential travel becomes more popular, we have new projects, new partners and initiatives to keep you excited and involved.

Archaeology in Armenia
Archeology and architectural conservation have always had a substantial connection. It’s often impossible to take on one without addressing the other. AiP has been involved in several archaeology projects, and we now have a remarkable opportunity outside the city of Gyumri, Armenia.
We are working with our partners in Gyumri and the Shirak Province with the hope of developing a program to save the region’s oldest stone inscription, along with documentation and preservation of surrounding sites. If plans come together, the project will be initiated in October 2024, and details will be announced soon on our project page.
Join us in this amazing adventure that will take you back to the 7th century BCE!

Friends of AiP Scholarship Fund
Urgent preservation threats are addressed each year by our dynamic volunteers, known as jammers. AiP’s need for jammers continues to increase as interest in preservation builds around the world. We hear from many people who would like to participate, but let us know that the project fee is beyond their means.
We would like everyone with the desire to attend a project & help a community to have that opportunity!
Your donation will help sustain the Friends’ of AiP Scholarship Fund and provide support allowing everyone – regardless of their financial status – to have the adventure of a lifetime.
Help us to reach our goal of ensuring assistance to all who want to get hands-on and contribute to valuable building conservation efforts. You will ensure a brighter future for students, young professionals and other volunteers who benefit from this scholarship program.
Your donation may be directed to a specific person, if you’d like to help a friend or family member join an adventure.
Donate today to impact a jammer and the community where they will work.
